Hello there, I'm a new Asterisk user and I wonder if it is possible to associate a voicemail box with a group of users, i.e., a single recorded message is sent to everyone in that group. If so, where can I find more information about that? Thanks in advance, Leo Burd

Hello there, I'm new to Asterisk and I'm trying to figure out a way to make the Asterisk Manager Interface (AMI) accessible to multiple users at the same time. Would anyone recommend an AMI proxy that could be accessed from PHP code? Thanks in advance, Leo

Hi Leo, here's a suggestion: in your dialplan (extensions.conf) send multiple users to the same mailbox (e.g. 999) if they do not pick up within 30 seconds: ; SIP Phone 100, Tom exten => 100,1,Dial(SIP/100,30) exten => 100,2,VoiceMail(999) ; SIP Phone 200, Eric exten => 200,1,Dial(SIP/200,30) exten => 200,2,VoiceMail(999) and in your voicemail.conf you do not specify a single

Hello everyone, I'm having all sorts of problems with my PHP AGI scripts... Basically, my scripts run fine from the command line and don't do anything well called from Asterisk. Here are my questions: a) Does Asterisk require PHP CLI or CGI? From the command line, my script seems to work fine with PHP 4.3.11 (cli) but not with PHP 4.3.9 (cgi) b) How to debug my script? According

Hello there, I'm writing an application to display asterisk voicemail on a webpage. Since Flash only handles MP3 files, I wonder if it is possible to configure asterisk voicemail in such a way that it would record and play MP3 files...

Hello everyone, Where can I find instructions on how to install PHPAGI? BTW, what's the difference between PHPAGI and PHPAGI2? Are they different products? It's hard to tell from voip-info.org... Best, Leo

Dear Moises Silva, Chris Thompson and others, I've finally managed to find the problem with my PHP AGI script! Apparently, my machine has 2 versions of PHP installed. One for CGI and the other for CLI. Without knowing, to hand test my script I was calling the CLI version (/usr/local/bin/php), whereas Asterisk was calling the CGI version (/usr/bin/php). It turns out that my script

Hello there, I'm trying to figure out how to run a PHP script on a remote machine and still have access to the audio stream associated with the call. Ideally, I'd love to play/record audio files directly from/to the remote server without having to copy them back and forth to the Asterisk server. What is the best way to do this? Is it possible to combine EAGI with FastAGI in PHP?

Hello there, I'm trying to configure my voicemail system and I have a couple of questions: * Is real-time voicemail already working?

Hello everyone, I'm writing a macro to use the telephone keyboard as a means for users to type in text. For some weird reason, I'm having problems with Asterisk command Read ... If I dial "0", the asterisk debugger prints "User entered nothing." If I dial "OO", asterisk recognizes both digits... Does anyone know what is going on? Thanks in advance, Leo

Hello all, I wonder if somebody could provide me with some advice on how to track what looks like a bug to me: I've got a PHP AGI script that is called whenever I dial into the system and also whenever I issue a specific Originate() request via AMI. The script works fine when I dial in. However, when I run it via Originate(), it sometimes does not play anything, sometimes plays part

Hello everyone, I'm a new Asterisk user and I wonder what people usually do to keep track of who is doing what in the system. For instance, I would like to keep track of who is calling certain contexts/extensions and when that happens. I'm also interested in logging customized status messages to a text file. Suggestions would be extremely welcome!! Best, Leo

Hi Everyone, I'd like to announce a project joint between the University of Bristol and Embecosm. In this project we hope to identify what effect a broad range of compiler options has on the energy consumption of different embedded platforms. To do this we are finding a set of relevant benchmarks, compiling them with different options and measuring their energy consumption on these platforms.

Hello everyone, I'm trying to send debugging messages to the console. However, although my system seems to be working fine, it does not seem to be printing the NoOp messages on the console...

Hello there, I'm new to PHP AGIs and I'm having problems with a particular script that has a "include_once" statement on it. If I remove that stament, the script runs until the section of the code that depends on the include and then returns. If I include that statement, the script does not seem to run at all. What shall I do? Thanks in advance, Leo

Hello there, I'm new to Asterisk and I'm wonder what's the best way to combine multiple VOIP lines into a single phone number... I currently have 4 incoming VOIP lines, each one with a different number. Ideally, I would love to provide my customers with a single number for all those lines. Is that possible? If so, would anyone give me directions or send me a dialplan example

Hello there, I'm currently building a PHP-based software to help users make batch calls. Basically, users provide a script and list of phone numbers. The system calls those numbers and plays the script to whoever picks up the phone. Currently, the system does one call at a time via direct access to the Asterisk Manager Interface, but does not seem to be very efficient. Ideally,

All; I'm currently using Asterisk 1.8 and I want to be able to have each user be able to set as many of the voicemail options as possible. The documentation calls voicemail options that can be overridden on a per-mailbox basis "advanced options". However, I've read conflicting information as to which options in the section [general] can be overridden. According to
